Pandas Tricks & Pitfalls
Clone this repo and run ipython notebook on your computer.
- pandas_tricks.ipynb - this is the main notebook, where I document some useful pandas features with lots of notes
- pandas_exercises.ipynb - supplemental exercises. Not everything from the tricks notebook has exercises, I don't wanna inundate ya.
